Report: Hamas Leaders Khaled Mashal, Nizar Awadallah and Zaher Jabarin Killed In Doha

According to reports from the Saudi network Al Hadath, five of Hamas’s most senior operatives, including the group’s head Khaled Mashal, had gathered in Doha on Tuesday afternoon when the IDF struck the location. Early accounts indicated that Mashal and at least three others were killed in the blast.

This strike in the heart of Qatar’s capital marks the first time Israel has gone after Hamas’s leadership on Qatari soil. For nearly two years since the October 7 massacre, Israel had avoided directly targeting the top figures who lived in comfort there.

Among those said to have been present at the meeting were Khalil al-Hayya and Zaher Jabarin, along with veteran Hamas figure Nizar Awadallah. Arabic media outlets claim that all three, in addition to Mashal, were eliminated in the operation.

Al Jazeera, however, cited a Hamas representative who insisted the leaders survived. For now, Hamas has issued no official confirmation or denial about their status, and Qatari authorities have not clarified whether the intended targets were killed.

The IDF disclosed that the mission was given the name “Summit of Fire.”

It was further reported that President Donald Trump authorized the strike in advance, with the attack carried out in coordination with the United States.
